What poets changed the way you thought about writing?
Rimbaud’s lyricism and free spirit inspired me to write some of my first poems. Later on, Billy Collins introduced me to the short, humorous poem. I read him a long time before I found my own humorous voice in poetry. I also discovered Mary Oliver’s nature poems and was moved to write my own. I have several poems about my love of spring, even though it is a fragile beauty in the end.
